You do know the Unions was the only thing holding the Midwest from becoming the south right? I doubt this strike hurts Trump but if unions take this L this will only help Trump. The poorer a state becomes the more it votes for Trump.


Sidenote: I kind of wish Ed Schultz was alive right now.

I will say that the Trumps path to victory is narrow especially if the trends from the 2018 mid terms hold up.

Dems don't have to reinvent the wheel to beat Trump. If they win back Wisconsin,Michigan and Pennsylvania and don't lose any states from 2016 Trump can't win. Even if he wins Ohio and Florida (which I will bank on him winning).

You can play with the map

2020 Presidential Election Interactive Map

the easiest way to beat Trump is to win those 3 states.

THIS WAS INEVITABLE. WORKERS TOOK A LOT OF CONCESSIONS DURING THE BAILOUT. THEY'RE JUST COMING FOR WHAT THEY'RE OWED.

THE AUTO COMPANIES ARE PLAYING DIRTY TOO. THE TIMING IS GREAT FOR THEM TO FOR THE UNION'S THROAT WITH ALL THESE SCANDALS POPPING UP. FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER AN AUTOMAKER REVEALED THE OFFER MADE TO THE UNION TO THE PUBLIC. I THINK THEY'RE TRYING TO THROW DIRT ON THE UNION'S REP.

GOAT economy :mjgrin:

Anyone saying trump is going to win in 2020 is a clown. Rust belt states like Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania carried trump. He promised those swing voters that it’d be a manufacturing revival in those parts. Lot of factories are idling due to the trade war.

these entitled cac auto workers..

They all should be kissing the govt. Ass.

GM was bankrupt without govt assistance.. the us auto industry had been dead since 08.. they keeping it "alive" aka a coma

Pull the plug

Can you give a back story? I’m trying to read up on the situation bit



Really comes down to trying to get back some of the things we conceded during bankruptcy. Gave up cost of living allowance, gave up some insurance things, haven't had a real raise in about ten years, GM is employing temps off and on for 5 plus years instead of hiring them or allowing transfers from idled plants. They didn't present a legitimate offer until 2 hours before the deadline. They have made record profits in the last few years but are still idling plants. There is a lot that goes into it.
